Hope

Bismillah..

I read this from a book while I was sick. And the words stuck to me in the worst possible moments of pain.

Sometimes, we think it's good enough. That we've done our deeds, that the good can outweigh the bad. 

Do we know… for certain that we're going to syurga or neraka? 

As we leave the matter of our End to Him, why not iman and hidayah too? 

Will the heart always stays the same?

No.

we Hope.

"Sesungguhnya seseorang yang berbicara dengan satu perkataan yang diredhai Allah Ta'ala, dia tidak dapat menyangka jika perkataannya sampai ditulis oleh Allah Azza wa Jalla sebagai kebaikan baginya, hingga hari dia bertemu dengan-Nya. Dan sesungguhnya seseorang berbicara dengan satu perkataan yang membuat Allah Ta'ala murka, dia tidak dapat mengira seberapa jauh perkataannya dicatat Allah sebagai dosa yang membuat-Nya murka pada hari dia berjumpa dengan-Nya."

(Hadis Riwayat At-Tirmidzi & Ibnu Majah, dari Bilal Bin Al-Harits) 

There could be NOTHING at the end

After all those years

Yet, we Hope… this deed would reach Him

Would make Allah happy

We Hope… this deed wouldn’t reach Him

The ones that would have His wrath

We Hope

so know our place

where we stood

in the path of wrong or right

and reflect what we CAN do now

then… we Hope we do something that makes Him redha

That's all we have, really

humble beginnings, always

My question is, to myself and to you

is this it (for the time now)?

is this the life you wanted?

the one you'd be content to die in?

if that's guilt in your eyes… you yourself must know what you HAVE to do now.

What choices the heart makes

Sometimes the journey is too painful, too strange

Yet, you’re risking the moment when you’ll finally meet Him

To have all your deeds shown for the first time

And you’ll say, “is this it?”

And frankly speaking, the moment 'now' is all we've got

A friend said this…

sleep is a rehearsal for death

Are you prepared?
